The Salisbury Playhouse presents *The Tailor of Gloucester*, a dramatic adaptation where a dedicated tailor races against time to craft an extraordinary coat for the Mayor before Christmas Day. As his naughty cat Simpkin chases mice, the narrative builds tension around the urgent holiday deadline. This forthcoming production brings Beatrix Potter's beloved story to life with sophisticated theatrical flair. Tickets are available from £5.00.
The Tailor of Gloucester is busy working on an extraordinary new coat for the Mayor which must be ready for Christmas Day. Meanwhile, his naughty cat Simpkin is busy chasing mice. When the Tailor suddenly gets poorly, someone is going to have to help to make sure the coat is completed. Who will come to the rescue and make sure Christmas is saved?
Join us for an interactive, magical musical show for young children and families this Christmas.
Building on the success of the 2019 production, this brand-new version will have new songs and a fresh look. From the writers behind The Night Before Christmas (2016 & 2018) and Little Robin Redbreast (2017 & 2020).
